Parque Xicoténcatl

Parque Xicoténcatl is a public park in the Churubusco neighborhood of Coyoacán, Mexico City. It is located across from the Museo Nacional de las Intervenciones, which details foreign attacks since Mexican independence. The park is named after warrior prince Xicotencatl II of the Tlaxcala who was executed in 1521 after the fall of Tenochtitlan.

The park was derelict prior to being nationalized and given its current name in 1965. It contains 6,000 m2 of trees and three talavera azulejo water fountains.

President José López Portillo commissioned a sculpture of Hernán Cortés, Doña Marina, and their son Martín. The 1981 statue by Julián Martínez Sotos was originally placed in front of Cortés's house in Coyoacán. After López Portillo left office, the sculpture was moved to Parque Xicoténcatl.
